Cause (Documented platform behavior): Service not enabled in the quota project, or recently enabled and not yet propagated.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Enabling the API only on the resource project when the error names a different (quota) project.
Limitations:
- Doc source is the Terraform Google provider guide; gcloud ADC quota-project command is general gcloud usage, not from the cited doc.
Other error fragments:
- before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting
- If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Calls fail with 403 naming a project number you didn't expect (e.g. the service account's home project or gcloud's quota project), even though the API is enabled on the target project.
- Context
- Product: Google Cloud APIs (gcloud, client libraries, Terraform google provider) Component: Service Usage / quota project Operation: Agent calls a Google API (via SDK, Terraform, or CLI) with ADC or a service account from another project Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 403 Packages: terraform-provider-google current docs Trigger: The API must be enabled in the project used for quota/billing of the request; by default that may be the credential's project or the resource project depending on the API.

Proposed fix: [Google Cloud APIs] 403 SERVICE_DISABLED '<service> API has not been used in project <project> before or it is disabled' — API off in the QUOTA project (credential's/ADC project), not ne
Recommended action: Enable the API in the project named in the error (`gcloud services enable <service>.googleapis.com --project <p>`) and wait a few minutes; or change the quota project (ADC: `gcloud auth application-default set-quota-project <p>`; Terraform: user_project_override + billing_project); ensure the caller has serviceusage.services.use on that project.
